Create Node JS Server that stores and displays data based on the day of the week

Question

I need to create a function that can display a metric pulled at different hours of the day from an outside source one week ago. The way I have my server currently set up is usin

Answer 1

Something along these lines might help. Applying node cron to set the interval:

var net = require('net');

var port = Number(process.env.PORT || 3000)

var timeInMs = Date.now();
var weekInMs = 604800000;

var server = net.createServer(function (socket) {
    //if time in Ms is time from first ping to now then... 
    socket.end(timeInMs + '\r\n');
});

server.listen(port);

The cron job:

var CronJob = require('cron').CronJob;
new CronJob('* * * * * *', function() {
  console.log('You will see this message every second');
}, null, true, 'time zone');
